Hockey was god here. As a an athlete (soccer player) I have always yearned to play on the international stage with the greats like Charlton, Best, Moore, Pele, Socrates, Zidane, Puscas, Cryuff, Beckenbauer and any other great I haven’t mentioned

Hockey

Toronto Maple Leafs

My home team

I got here and found out that my captain, Darryl Sittler scored 10 points in one single game. I saw other greats like Lafleur, Bossy, Gretzky, Lemieux then and now did not match my captain

I was a die hard Leaf fan. As a new immigrant and sports nut, I gleefully followed the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, Wimbledon, Wide World of Sports, downhill skiing (Franz Klammer), Boxing and the list goes on. I even spent hours on curling back then (don’t judge me...lol)​Wednesday night and Saturday nights it was known in my crew to not ask me to do anything that didn’t include watching the Leaf game. It got so bad that my friends used to come over on a Saturday night to get me out after the game because if the Leafs lost, I would end up staying home in a foul mood

I wasn’t present when he accomplished the feat yet I reveled and basked in the fact that my captain did that. Sit was as big to me as Pele

Present day, I go to the coffee shop and talk to Nuno who serves me up the elixir of Americano with the right amount of water, leaving room for my heavy cream and sugar intake

Nuno gets to listen to my shit every day as I heap everything from personal stuff, to politics, racism and his favorite subject, The Toronto Maple Leafs. He tries to convince me to come back to the fold and watch this team play today as I stopped watching years ago, turned off by the losing culture. If I am a Leaf fan, Nuno is that on every PED ever known to man. He knows dates and stats from games YEARS ago. He at least got me to start checking out Matthews and the standings from time to time and even to watch on sports television to see highlights

Yeah, they looking pretty organized this season yet this monkey on my back has killed enthusiasm for a franchise that can’t win

Nuno has this long time Leaf fan watching highlights of the Leaf games now

Darryl Sittler played to win as did Dougie Gilmour and Wendel Clark, my three favorite Leaf captains

Yet, Sit was my first

During one of our conversations Nuno pointed out that the 10 point feat happened on the 2nd month on the 7th day

27

What are the insurmountable odds that Sittler would do a thing to match the number on the back of his jersey?​Destiny or not, it is an incredible feat that still astounds me today and yes I have watched it a thousand times

He wondered, as I do now, how come Leaf management / marketing department hasn’t made that into a thing?

A 27 thing

A Sittler thing

Maybe I’m just stuck back in time thinking that Sit is the greatest captain of all yet this date and his number does seem to truly define Sit’s greatness

I am so grateful to RRR for giving me the forum as well as the outlet to do what I do / did and honed some skills for future endeavors

Fortunately we also filmed a ‘couple’ of shows and my conversations about ganja freedom are constant, even down to the type of music that I play

Check out some of the old, archived shows sometime

Two weeks ago, an upload of mine was banned in every territory globally and there are viewing restrictions on some of the shows on this Youtube channel so maybe some of what I do is being censored so take in what you can, while you can

Yet if people witnessed the same thing, the "thing" being in the centre of a circle, each is seeing the thing from different angles, light, time of day and any other variables

The thing is the truth

Each individual in the circle saw the same truth yet has their angle and version of it and when it doesn't match the story of someone else in the same circle, the need to be right and be the champion of that truth becomes the issue

Not the actual truth anymore

Those who fight and kill know that their story is a lie because it is the one that benefits them. They make it their truth

Those who actually know this truth focus on the "thing"

The thing is the truth

Once that is known there is no need to yell it out or to fight for it. There is that confident comfort of knowing that truth and no necessity to argue about truth

Being persecuted for the truth is commonplace to this civilization. The price for truth is often death of the physical being, so many are encouraged to be silent in the face of a bold faced lies because we fear death

The spiritual energy carries longer and further than the physical form. Disconnected from the spiritual we are sheep to this chaos

The truth does free your mind and spirit because none happens without that deep core love

This isn't news to anyone but I had to relay these words as I think there is a frequency that this spiritual truth operates on and my energy is to write. Mostly for myself as I sort out the chaos created to distract me
